Banana Slip or Freudian Split?

By Scoundrel Ghost

What is in a word?

Nothing really other than its definition
if used correctly.

However the simple word can have a powerful impact,
a common everyday word can heal or destroy.

Its all in the context, the situation and how the word is spoken.

For example, the misplaced word.

Mom for Wife.

Dad for Husband.

or Bob for Bill/ Jane for Mary

(YIKES)

or even Bob for Mary and Jane for Bill.

(DOUBLE YIKES)

Take that now place in a less common
setting, not driving in the car having a friendly discussion,
or sitting with your therapist pouring out your heart;

but in the bed, in the throws of ecstasy,
the brink of climax, disaster strikes,

she says, "Oh Jim!".

And you are not Jim you are Spock.

(TRIPLE YIKES)

It can happen and it can be a simple slip

that leads to a split

regardless of the fact

that is just one simple spoken word

in the wrong place at the wrong time.
